Amounts of want-to-be-ubuntu-developer levels and their names are
misleading. I wanted to get rights to directly upload my packages and
when I discussed it with few developers I was told to apply for 'Ubuntu
Contributing Developer' (plus some text that MOTU status was replaced by
it from some long time Ubuntu devs).

So I applied and (after ~6 weeks) during UDS-O DMB's meeting I got it.
Just to understand that what I really needed was 'Per Package Uploader'
level. So it edited my wiki page and applied again. Today I would
totally skip first phase as from my perspective it was useless waste of
time.

In few months I will try to apply for MOTU probably but before filling
forms I will triple check what is current status and talk with more devs
about it.
